On any benefit that in the team’s Stanley Cup years that they still had to qualify for playoffs late:
To me, it’s always important. I’ve had teams where you’ve been in a situation where you know you’re going to get into the playoffs and you’re still trying to get your team geared up to play the gam... Read More
